Long (surname)

For other uses, see Long (disambiguation).

Long is a surname and may refer to many people.

Long is a romanization of the Chinese surname 龍, which means "dragon" in Chinese. The name ranked number 80 on the list of common Chinese surnames in 2006, up from 108 in 1990. The name is also romanized as Lung.

The Longs in Ireland got their names from a number of different origins. Some are of English, Scottish, and Norman descent. The Norman de Long and le Lung arrived in the 12th century with the Anglo-Norman conquest and established in numerous locations. A number of Irish Gaelic septs of O'Longain and O'Longaig contributed to the origin of the name. One sept was located in County Armagh, but the greater numbers were in County Cork at Cannovee and also at Moviddy. The Longs lost all their lands in the upheavals of the 17th century. The name is found in its greatest numbers in Munster, County Cork being most favored. The line of direct descent from the last elected chieftain to the present day is unbroken-–the official title is styled “O'Long of Carrenelongy.
